Mindanao is the second largest and easternmost island in the Philippines. It is also one of the three island groups in the country, along with Luzon and Visayas. Mindanao is a land of towering mosques and malong-clad women, where boldly-striped vintas(sail boats) ply the waters between houses perced precariously on stilts. Here, ethnic tribes weave glorious tales of brave warriors and haughty princesses into colorful tapestries and fabrics.
